Reno, NV

Recently traveled to Reno, NV for an AMSUG Conference. We stayed at the Silver Legacy (nice enough, but the rooms were small, no safes, no hair dryers but well cleaned daily and a great view). When I checked out there was a charge for a bar visit that I didn't make, but the front desk cleared with with no problem.

Conference was held at the Reno Sparks Convention Center and the facilty was roomy and clean - only issue was getting there daily but the AMSUG had chartered sufficient buses to make the trip easy.

What was exciting about the trip?

• Windstrom with hurricane force winds on Monday
• Power outage in the conference center at about 5:00 or so
• Power not fully restored in the conference center until late morning on Tuesday
• Snow storm on Tuesday morning
• Earthquake on Tuesday morning

Now, don't tell me that Reno can't generate some excitement!!!

Air travel was obtained from USAIR and almost all flights were on time. The only delay was on the final leg of the return trip - twenty minute delay on a normal one hour flight - but we still got back to Elmira just about on time. Didn't save any fuel on that leg of the trip.

Next trip - Friday, May 9th to Europe, so stand by for more travel adventures.
